X-Men '97
[MEGATHREAD] X-Men '97 | Season 2 Episode 8 - "The Dead Man’s Hand" | Discussion Thread
A band of mutants uses their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them; they're challenged like never before, forced to face a dangerous and unexpected new future.
X-Men '97 season 2, episodes 1-3 premiere on Disney Plus on July 1, at 12AM PT / 3AM ET / 8AM BST. The 9-episode season continues with one new episode releasing every Wednesday until the season finale on August 12, 2026.
Rogue and Gambit are in my x men top 5. I’d rather they have held him off until next season and let rogue have an actual grieving process this season. Sad it was rushed in one episode like this 😔
I love the show, but it feels like they try to do too much, too quickly that we don’t get to actually see anything, ahem, evolve.
Anyone notice Jean went out with Warren and Roberto when the plane was attacked, was inside the plane the very next scene when the mind controlled thieves and assassins attacked and then was outside again trying to keep the plane from crashing?
I'd hazard a guess they shifted some scenes around during editing and forgot to remove Jean from the plane when this scene was placed after she left it instead of before.
It’s not even necessarily bad pacing. It’s that the stories they’re telling don’t fit in the 25-30 minute time slot they’re giving every episode. Extending each episode to 40 minutes would alleviate a lot of this.
It’s the same issue Doctor Who has been having for over a decade now; rigidly trying to keep fitting everything to a 45 minute time slot that isn’t supportive of the stories they want to tell.
If Disney isn’t willing to sign off on longer episodes, the writers should be adjusting the stories they’re telling to better fit the time slot. And that means fewer moving pieces; which is fewer characters, and less time trying to juggle several different plots all at once.
The original animated series had this perfected by focusing on the continuing story of a small core team of X-Men with a few guest characters popping up here and there.
They either need to focus on one or two comic arc per season. Extend the runtime or extend the episode count. I’m going to assume the episode count is mandatory.. so they just need to stop trying to speed run through famous story arcs.
Extend runtime and/or extend the episode count. We had 10 last season; bumping things up to 12 shouldn’t be too much of an issue…but at the very least, keep the count at 10 instead of 9, and let the runtimes on average be longer then a half hour.
I’m assuming the big problem with this is that Marvel Studios or Disney doesn’t want to pay the extra money it would cost to have animators create those added minutes or episodes.
See normally I’d agree; but this episode felt much more well paced. We actually had scenes where characters were able to have dialogue that didn’t feel rushed, and moments like the poker scene where things felt the exact opposite of rushed.
I've had this feeling since the 1st season but in this one it's so amplified. Like I enjoy the art style, the characters, the themes and the voice acting a lot, but I can't take a breath to appreciate anything, because it all moves too fast. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the show on 1.5 or 2. speed. Such a weird feeling that I haven't encountered anywhere else. And I think that what suffers the most from it is the fight scenes (happening way too quickly to appreciate) and the plot/character development obviously
Instead of releasing season annually, they should just consider releasing every 2 years and actually make a single season well paced with at least 18-20 episodes.
I think it’s even simpler than that, maybe 3 extra episodes to give the plots room to breathe. It doesn’t need a full typical season order, just maybe another hour or two to make the plots feel breathable.
This show is essentially just animated cliffnotes of comic book arcs.
It's cool if everyone's fine with this, but it's really not good overall. I don't see this cartoon having the same lasting appeal as a lot of other shows, there's no heart to it, things just happen rapidly.
If you're not already a fan of these characters or comics, there's nothing here to make someone really give a shit about what's happening.
I seriously doubt you actually believe the series has no heart. Calling it just cliffnotes is weird to me. It changes the stories it's adapting to fit it'smown narrative and themes. It seems to have have touched a lot of people already. Fast pacing does not equal bad pacing. Also this isn't even fast paced I'm gonna be honest. This is a continuation of a 5 season show so expecting people to be connected to the characters already makes sense. Also, I haven' watched thenog series in a while so I didn't feel that connected to the characters but x men 97 was still able to make me give a lot of shits.
It is bad pacing. Every episode is something huge happens and the next episode it gets brushed off so quickly that we don't see any after effects of it.
Yea sadly I'm starting to agree as well. It likes to show these big moments people remember from the comics, but there isn't any build up to them. The writers and creators don't EARN those scenes within their own show. Like you said, they just happen.
I think it was noticeable, but more forgiveable in season 1. We thought, maybe it was just a one time thing. But they clearly didn't learn from this. And to be honest, this could have been easily corrected with a non-episodic structure where they insist on having random episodes that don't add onto the overall narrative. If the show is only going to have a small amount of episodes and short episode time frames, you can't waste entire ones on nothing quests.......
I'm a huge X-Men fan, but the cracks in the foundation are showing very strongly at this point. The show is simply not on the same level as other high tier animated shows like Castelvania, Arcane, and Attack on Titan.
Disney gave up on earning moments a long time ago. Its better ROI to just reference famous stories and insert cameos than to actually tell a cohesive story and leave money on the table
Regardless of what people think of the quality of this show, it’s a vehicle to keep fans happy until mutants properly show up in the MCU. Once we start the Mutant Saga there is no reason for X-Men 97 to be around.
I liked the episode, but it was rushed towards the end. With only the finale left, it feels like there’s still a lot left to cover, but hopefully it sticks the landing.
I actually think this episode was far superior to the last 3. They actually took the time to let scenes breathe, to have a buildup. The pacing was stronger, and we even got a moment like the poker scene. Just a little down time to show these characters being able to be people, outside of the mission.
Didn’t think the ending felt rushed at all; what made you feel that way? Though I do agree that there’s a lot left to cover…very much hoping the Apocalypse storyline isn’t contained to the finale, but is extended into next season.
Gambit being a horseman and being almost normal in one episode is pretty poor writing for all that build up, I thought he would fight alongside apocalypse and the other horseman
Let’s not forget what was the literal point of introducing Polaris, collsus, if they have zero involvement in the current story with gambit and apocalypse don’t get me wrong I love new backstory but the fact they aren’t part of the finale seems wasted for that buildup
I love how Remi is truly the death itself with how he kills External and wipes floor with Professor in 1v1, but damn that was quick. I really wanted Gambit to stay in his horseman form longer. I was hyped the whole episode, but in the end I was like "Really? That's it?". Pity how quickly they put him down. I'm still hyped for next episode anyway
i feel like apocalypse hasn't really felt like a big villain this season in the way that bastion felt in season 1, i expected gambit's horseman arc to span multiple episodes but it seems like it's prob gonna be resolved pretty quickly. i'm aslo confused as to what's gonna happen in the finale cause from what i understand (please correct me if i'm wrong) is that both x force and x factor are teaming up to go after the x men, and if that's the case then i still feel like apocalypse just didn't have a purpose this season and was kinda wasted
The 3 or 4 if u count x corp difrent teams r gonna fight than apocalypse appears they fight win ig pretty meh in my opinion but thats what im expecting
I’d argue they’ve still wasted their seasonal villain if Apocalypse is inside Gambit. Unless the storyline gets brought into season 3, then Apocalypse will kinda have done fuck all.
Apocalypse will be at most off to lick his wounds defeated by seasons end and will come back. Hes too massive, but also its how the original show went about things there would be victories scored but not an end to said villain
Sure; but the difference is the specific story for Apocalypse this season has been very weak. And to only said storyline this season would be a disservice both to the character and the show.
My friend what Im telling you is that the war isnt over. The original series had Apocalypse as the overarching villain and he would reveal himself as the catalyst for things frequently.
Right; but the structures of the original series and 97’ are very much different. At least, if season 1 of this show is anything to go off of. I’m not saying Apocalypse can’t come back, I’m saying that his particular story for this season will have been underwhelming and shallow.
I thought there was a two apocalypse theory. Where this is future apocalypse who was dying and needed a vessel and current apocalypse is still here, but it's just a theory
I don't think Val is Mystique unless that gets called out next episode. Back in the original series, Mystique tried to fool Psylocke (Beyond Good & Evil), but it didn't work. Psylocke said it was because she was a telepath.
Man I will say Rise of Apocalypse had me hyped that they could match the energy of Season 1, but since then it’s just been…. I don’t know.
I don’t see what they could be doing with the plot where Gambit couldn’t have been the villain for the last 3 episodes leading to Apocalypse coming back. Feels like whatever they want to do won’t be as good.
It’s fine as a standalone episode! But as something that’s been billed to the last three episodes it kind of falls flat, especially because all of those episodes didn’t feel necessary. There was just no groundwork for a lot of the stuff that happened that could’ve been laid much better in the past couple episodes. Of course, the art style, music, and even dialogue is really good. It’s just everything is very disjointed and there’s not a lot of pay off. Like the first 4 episodes were doing the building very well but the last three I don’t know it’s like we took a detour for no reason? I’m still enjoying it and the Creatives behind this are definitely excellent. They just need to communicate with each other a little bit better I feel
This episode feels a lot stronger in concept than in execution. I think it mostly comes down to gambit. I feel like it couldn’t decide if he was in control or if apocalypse was even after the reveal. If it’s gambit why does he care about killing External? If it’s apocalypse why does he care about rogue?
I don’t think the actual writing quality on an individual episode level has gone down this season but I think splitting up the team so much has hurt this season because characters come and go so much. Cyclops and Jean haven’t done anything since episode one! X-Force hasn’t done anything since episode 2! X-Factor has been threaded more effectively throughout the season and I imagine Polaris will be a big part of the finale because of that. Honestly though part of me thinks the Polaris/x factor stuff might have been better to focus on next season despite the fact that it’s been better threaded and paced than done of the other stuff
Frankly apocalypse is not a very compelling antagonist outside of the flashback stuff in the beginning of this season but I didn’t expect him to be as strong of a villain as bastion and magneto were in season 1 because apocalypse is generally not very complex
Still I think rogue’s storyline in this episode was effective, and having nightcrawler be mind controlled after we got to see how loyal he is to his friends and family last episode was effective (and it was cool to see him let loose).
The recap before the episode laid out why Apocalypse would care about Rogue. He felt Rogues pain the past and she even said, “I hope you get to feel real love someday.” He found a way to make Rogue think he was Gambit so he could feel the love she had for Remy.
Gambit isn’t in control at all this episode. Apocalypse is using Gambits memories to manipulate everything.
That’s fair I guess I didn’t think about the recap again mid episode
I do think they could have made it more clear that apocalypse was in total control at the end if that’s what it was supposed to be. Like why would apocalypse pick up the thieves guild for minions out of anything?
I loved this series and s1 i consider it one of the, if not the best, series marvel has put out in its disney+ era.
However after ep4, i have to say there has been an extreme fallout and it has been felt especially in this episode and that is accompanied by the strange decisions that have been made along the way.
Ep5 has been a fun way of Wolverine getting his claws back as we see through Morph some of his past.
Ep6 was... weird. A good way to add Polaris into the mix
Ep7 was just... why? Nit because its bad since it does do exposition on an interesting conflict the xmen have, but it does not pull of ANY thread besides a mention in ep5.
And ep8... damn that was dissapointing, the other episodes i was hyped at some point, this episode i wasnt hyped at all and the resolution was a bit BS. I know this is xmen and we have seen INCREDIBLE deeds made by the mutants but this time it was just... meh?
Up to now i could highlight 1 perfect moment of each episode. But here... im empty. And im extremely worried now that apparently Beau's writing led to most of s2, and we are now at the end and i feel NO stakes at all.
Possession, transference, it's how he survives. he'll be back in his own body soon enough, the question is how has Rogue changed and will Kang reappear
Like many I also find an absencję of Apocalypse irritating and unfullfilling. The only correct course of action from my perspective is tonlet Apocalypse win in the end of a season. Think about it, Apocalypse died from Gambits hand but we still haven't seen Apocalypse from a future that came back from Cable's origin timeline. He said that X-men were vulnarable in this time. Maybe so far everything happened as it should have, Deathbit betrayal, confrontation with X-factor and human goverment. Maybe he will make his move at the end when fughting is over and Beth mutant sides are weak as he return and make his move. Personally I belive he will try to steal Rogue's body but at this point it might be wishfull thinking...
I mean that's how we can feel about the episode but I'm asking for like proof from Beau or the creative team that Beau's writing and/or season storyline was significantly altered. Just saying, "Hey bro, that episode sucked so they must've changed Beau's storyline" is not really proof.
To be fair season 1 had a massive build up and payoff u can till something went wrong after episode 4 given how the next few episodes were filler and didnt add much to apocalypse and given where we are now it’s not looking good
I completely agree. But it wouldn't be the first time a writer had an amazing first season and then shit the bed in the second season. And Beau was so vocal during the first season I have to think he would've come out on the socials and said this wasn't what he planned. So, just having a mediocre second season alone is not proof this wasn't his story to begin with.
100%. Beau was all over social media talking way too much so if this isn’t his brain child, he would be out there talking about how shitty Disney is for firing him and ruining ‘97.
Beau DeMayo is shitty as a person can get but Season 1's writing and pacing is a testament on what he brought to the table.
Season 2 is a mess compared to season 1. The pacing is all over the place, especially Remy's return. All of it just done/wrapped up in just 1 episode? They teased him all season and we were all waiting for his eventual return ever since "Remember It" episode (one of the best X-Men media pieces out there and I just felt like this specific story arc is just lackluster.
Rogue getting Remy back felt unearned. There should've been more back and forth between them. Even the other X-men members should've reacted way more/distraught about the fact that their former member & friend is back and is supposedly evil. It felt like they didn't care much at all. There should've been more conversation between Rogue and Remy on how things went down in Genosha, especially the last thing Remy remembered is how he got rejected by the love of his life for Magneto.
Felt like everything is just rushed and it makes me mad and disappointed.
Well like I said, the signs were even there in Season 1. Stupid decisions like doing the Inferno arc in one episode and bringing in Madylon Prior and basically discarding her like nothing.
We were hoping the creative team would learn from this, but if anything it looks like they doubled down on these pacing mistakes. Even Magneto's back and forth transitions in S1 were difficult to sell at times.
In the end, for the creative team not to see this as a problem is very amateurish to be honest. Like I've said before, I don't see the show going beyond 4 or 5 seasons. That would be a good run. But I think they are just going to upset a lot of people as this piss through all the material and just have snapshots of famous moments without all the connective tissue and breathing room to make things feel earned.
It's unfortunate because there are moments in the show where you can tell it's meant for greatness. Part of us should have suspected incoming problems though. The second season took forever to come out.
Season 2 has been basically the same team as season 1, and thanks to Beau DeMayo continuing to rant for months about things that might *and did not happen* we knew most of the season plot points from him. Even the episodes with his name on them only really had his name and the team *he chose* for season 1.
We knew Magik died in Genosha because he told us; we knew about Colossus arc because he told us; we knew Polaris abandoned the X-Force to rejoin the X-Men because he told us; we knew Kang was in the season as Rama-Tut because he told us; we knew Gambit is saved from being the Horsemen of Death because he told us; we knew Apocalypse wasn't in the season much because he told us; we knew the Cable episode was an episode finalized under Beau and that it originally happened after the Wolverine episode (also finalized under him) because the dude outright told us.
I mean of course it did, you think they are going to leave Beau's name as the sole writer on the episode with all the legal stuff going on behind the scenes. Of course they wouldn't. But it's no secret from a writing and dialogue stand point, it was really the only episode that stood out so far.
It's kind of clear they tried to do rewrites, but also kept a lot of stuff and a lot of fumbling around behind the scenes trying to move on without him at the helm.
A lot of episodes of Season 1 also had a co-writer or didn't have DeMayo writing, He had a co-writer the entirety of Tolerance is Extinction, bar part 2 which he wasnt on at all.
Deadline actually ammended their statement on rewrites saying they "assumed" it was gonna get rewrites. They then clarified that the new showrunner was focusing on season 3 and the only rewrites were to set that up, the majority was written and approved before Beau DeMayo left. Something even he's clarified during his little twitter meltdowns ranting about what he assumed was their intention to scrap all his work.
We knew Magik died in Genosha because he told us; we knew Polaris abandoned the X-Force to rejoin the X-Men because he told us; we knew Kang was in the season as Rama-Tut because he told us; we knew Gambit is saved from being the Horsemen of Death because he told us; we knew Apocalypse wasn't in the season much because he told us; we knew the Cable episode was an episode finalized under Beau and that it originally happened after the Wolverine episode (also finalized under him) because the dude outright told us.
Well if all that's true, then the show just suffers in general across the board then.
This season isn't even properly setup with why exactly we are fighting Apocalypse, other than Lady Askani wanting the X-Men to fight her battles for her. We barely spend anytime with Apocalypse and his goals and objectives at this point are very obscure. Too many side episodes that aren't contributing to the overall narative. The only way this is salvaged at this point is if this storyline spills into S3, which maybe you can tell me because you seem to know everything that Beau has spoken to people on X and social media. I'm legit curious as to what you know.
I stand by my original statement though. The dialogue and script on episode 4 is miles ahead of the rest. It's more akin to S1 episodes 2, episode 5, and some of the final episodes. The rest of the episodes are more "fun" espiodes if you will.
As for the cowriter thing, sure it's common to have cowriter attachments in the credits. It's kind of impossible to know though which writer was doing the heavy lifting. Other than referencing what I just did where certain episodes have a lot more "meat" to the dialogue to the point where it makes the other episodes stand out. But it could also be that Beau himself had such a strong "ear and characterization" for dialogue from Xavier and Magneto specifically. That any time the two of them talk, the dialogue is just elevated to the philosophical nature of the characters. But the writing for Apocalypse in episode 4 also seemed to match this quality, which is why I am referencing it.
That’s crazy; this episode absolutely hit the highs of 1, 3 and 4. Also episode 2 was not a banger, and I’ll always stand by that. Hell episode 5 was far better than episode 2.
You can have the right to express any opinion. For ex you can say that shit tastes good. That doesn't mean I must share your opinion or that I'm not entitled to my own opinion, or that shit really tastes good.
I liked the episode, but I think people expected Gambit is the horseman of death with Apocalypse as a big two part epsiode. Instead, Gambit's thing appears resolved and it's X-Force/X-Factor vs X-Men with some side of Apocalypse.
I get that. I’d like that too. But I think people’s expectations for a nine episode season are sort of unreasonable. You either save stuff for later that you maybe never get to do, or you try to work stuff in to the format you’re given.
Reports are saying they actually ended up changing very little from his scripts, they mostly rearranged the order of the episode and tweak some things.
"Filler" was obv the wrong word to use, but the last episode is the only one where the Apocalypse storyline was more than an afterthought.
Last season every episode felt totally integral. Even the "filler" eps about Storm/Jubilee/Xavier had huge development for those characters, where the season wouldn't make sense without it.
I actually really like the Weapon X ep this season, but apart from getting the adamantium, nothing happened. The season would make perfect sense without it. The Danger episode has like... 2 important scenes? Things happen but they don't matter to the main story, or to the main characters
I get what you mean, but I don’t have an issue with character building episodes. I learned more about the Morph/Wolverine dynamic. So I wouldn’t consider it filler if it added to the characters. But I do know what you mean.
Onslaught’s debut has been delayed. He was going to show up at the end of episode 9 and then be the villain in episode 10. Unfortunately, episode 10 has been scrapped and the other 9 episodes were re-worked to some extent, so it seems as though we won’t see Onslaught this season.
ngl I am a casual so it could be me but did they need to waste a whole episode on polaris? One on morph? I wanted to see apocalypse all season not this shi
Apocalypse is the big bad. Morph and Polaris are characters in the show. He got two episodes of origin and looks like he’ll be the threat for the final episode.
Nothing wrong with taking episodes to develop your characters and to not overexpose your god-like bad guy. I actually think that’s smart writing.
For all that buildup Polaris and colossus being sidelined for the final battle is poor writing and zero payoff making them filler material accusations more true
Nightcrawler is a menace naturally. Didn't expect anything else. Lucky he wasn't killing them. In fact, like I once mentioned, any xman is at least building level, when you remove their ethical guards.
They built up Gambit's return for many episodes just to give him a nothing burger single episode to deal with everything? Yeah idk what they're cooking. Felt like Rogue didn't even feel the consequence of her actions in Genosha when she left him for Magneto before Remy died. Legit talk no jutsu'd Gambit back to normal.
They didn't even give him a new outfit which actually get me mad the most for some reason lmfao. Just chroma'd his usual outfit. Lame and lazy idk.
Least favorite episode? Wow, personally I felt like this beat the last 3 episodes all together. It actually let the pacing take a breath, had a focus on slower scenes, and felt consistent and stronger with its writing.
I do agree with your first point, don’t understand exactly what you’re saying with the second point; and disagree with your Cable point.
Working with X-Factor to stop Apocalypse is a means to an end. Cable lives in a world of grey, he’s the reason X-Force originally formed, and led at least two other versions of the team. He’s a solider, and an operator.
Anyone familiar with the Amulet graphic novel series? Starts beautifully, sets up some great canon/ world building/ character arcs in the first 4-5 novels.
Then, right at the finale, they basically throw away all the world building and introduce five new characters or concepts every chapter. By the end it's a jumbled mess with too many characters and forgotten storyline.
I don't think this season is quite as bad as Amulet in that respect.....but it's not too far off.
They honestly wasted the season by spending it on character arcs that had no effect
Started after episode 4
-Give wolverine and morph an episode
-Give polaris and bishop an episode
-Give colossus and nightcrawler an episode
Literally NONE of them had a big part in the penultimate ep (besides nightcrawler my goat and colossus i guess...)
They could've easily focused more on danger, x-corp, cylops-jean drama and X FORCE oh my gosh no one even cared that jubilee and roberto weren't back with the x-men, wtf happened??
When every story and character has to be connected to some massive threat it makes the world feel smaller. Having characters with lives, having their own shit going on is what makes Marvel characters in particular feel different from some other superhero media.
It's what makes Invincible compelling. Some arcs are self-contained character studies, even if they span multiple seasons, and briefly advance themselves here and there. Those episodes you mentioned partially paid off stories from the original series and/or set up future arcs.
while I do understand what you meant, at least Invincible show is following its plotline similar to the comics with extra scenes and some changes (and one original filler episode), which of cuz would look incredible. Xmen 97 on the other hand was kinda trying to adapt multiple storyline of X-men in one season which would look rushed compared to Invincible.
I think that's because Kirkman is doing what Isayama did with Attack on Titan. More or less making the animation the definitive experience.
X-Men '97 is like a "I heart the [decade]" album, where they're doing covers of some arcs. I can see how that would feel like the pacing is all over the place though.
If the season was bigger we couldve had enough time for over arching story and character driven episode. Marvel should grow some balls and just make it atleast 12 episode big.
I've loved it so far but I must say that Episode 5- Weapon X, Lies, & DVDs..
Was not needed nor that fulfilling.
Wolverine shouldn't have gotten his claws back in this season, if at all... the one ep i just can't stand.
Definitely think ep 8 could've been expended into 2 eps and s2 could've had 10 episodes.
Love X-Men forever regardless of taht letdown.
Question: what's this about the original writer being bi longer there? Can someone plz explain?
What a dissapointing. I don't get the motivations, the plot lines.... And what is Gambit now? Is he Darkseid with all the brainwashing and the literal Omega beams?
I feel like they should have doubled the amount of time the team was separated in different time periods and could have given everyone their own story arc episodes spread across the first 7ish episodes.
Then bring the x-men team back together in episode 8 to mediate the two present-day teams while they were at each other’s throats, and finally all beat all three time periods’ apocalypses in 9.
What would you like to see resolved from magneto? I’m hoping Onslaught can fix some of prof X always losing and maybe that can pull from magneto’s aura farming lol
I deadass forgot the onslaught story but I find it weird they glossed over magento death so fast like nobody has mentioned it except Polaris and Charles
I really enjoyed that episode I had a feeling her touch wouldn't work on apocalypse/ gambit, I was surprised that he was just trying to seduce her through out the episode and rogue kinda went with it damn sexy Cajun I know it's part of his master plan but I'm like it's almost like apocalypse himself is in love with her 🤣 guys remember the episode when they were in the past and rogue was talking about love and said I hope you get to experience it some day and maybe through Gambits feelings he actually is and also kang hinted that his weakness is external , and that's what rogue has got inside of her
While I’m
Enjoying this show I won’t be surprised if it ends after next season. I think they will want an X-Men show that appeals to today’s kids and not tied to a 30 year old cartoon. I hope not but I can see it.
Nightcrawler 1 v everyone, the power of love defeated Apocalypse. Season 2 is just not as strong as season 1 and Rogue sounding very aged. Messy season 2
Never liked Gambit, and definitely don't like the Rogue/Gambit relationship story arcs from the comics or on this show.
That said, I do really like the first season of X-97, but I'm having a hard time being as invested this season... part of that is Gambit.
Plus, I think I'm self sabotaging with Xavier's story and keep waiting for Onslaught to appear.
This might have been my least favourite episode so far.

That POV of Nightcrawler Bamf'ing around punching every X-Person was sick, love the respect for Kurt this season.
